LEEPA VALLEY (Kashmir English): Leepa Valley has witnessed heavy snowfall in the surrounding mountains following continuous rainfall since March 9, 2025. Experts have stated that the snow that has accumulated will prove to be useful in the summer months, as it will prevent water shortage by acting as a frozen water reservoir.
Snowfalls are not disrupting the highways anymore, giving the vehicles a better route to pass through. All the internal roads throughout Leepa Valley maintain full operational capacity. The relevant authorities are actively working to clear link roads that suffered damage from landslides to achieve a complete connection.
The educational institutions operating in Leepa Valley, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) maintain their normal operations because academic programs face zero disruption. The educational institutions operate normally and students together with teaching staff follow their regular schedule while the daily operations of the valley face minimal difficulties.
Further rainfall will continue until March 16 based on Meteorological Department predictions. The high altitude areas can experience extra snow accumulation because of this situation which heightens the possibility of landslides. The authorities have instructed both residents and travellers to take extra care in regions which experience frequent landslides.
The recent snow accumulation serves as an essential natural resource in this area because it establishes valuable water reserves which sustain the arid times. The combination of heavy snow accumulation with rainy conditions introduces new problems that could lead to transportation delays and blockages on roads.
Authorities keep strict watch over the area while promptly addressing blocked roads or moving soil masses. Community members should consult weather reports while refraining from dangerous travel on exposed roads.
The seasonal transformation of Leepa Valley becomes more enchanting due to snowfall that blankets its peaks which generates admiration among both area residents and tourists. The unpredictability of weather patterns reminds everyone in the region about natural dangers that occur unpredictably.
The people of Leepa Valley operation normally at present yet officials and residents stay alert against weather threats that forecast added precipitation.
